How do you access the terminal commands for HA in Debian?

Hi folks!

I recently installed HA Supervised on Debian. It worked alright. I tried to do a recovery from a backup. It was a big file So I let it do its thing overnight. This morning HA is not accessible anymore over the web interface.

I would like to know what is going on, but don’t know how to look. Newbie in Linux.
Thank you!

PS: In case you are wondering why I bothered with HA in Debian, the reason is that I want to run HA and OMV side by side.

Hi there, Since you have installed it as Supervised, we can check the status of the docker containers to know if HA is working or not. For this open the terminal window either directly or connect to the host through SSH and issue the following command.

sudo docker ps -a

This should list all the containers and its status. Check if HA is working or exited. If exited, you are start HA again with this command.

sudo docker start homeassistant

If you see other hass containers also exited, either restart the host or use the above command with the container names of those.

Hope this would be helpful.
